LIGHTING & OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
LIGHTING PROCEDURES
Lighting Main Burner(s):
1. Become familiar with safety guidelines at front of manual. DO NOT SMOKE WHILE LIGHTING GRILL OR
CHECKING GAS SUPPLY CONNECTIONS
2.If yourgrill fuel source is a LP gas cylinder, check to see that cylinder is filled.
3. Check the end of each burner tube is properly located over each valve orifice.
4. Make sure all gas connections are securely tightened. TEST FOR LEAKS WITH A SOAP SOLUTION, NEVER WITH A
FLAME. (Gas Leak Check instructions are on page 2).
5. Always open lid before lighting.
6. Set ALL BBQ Grill control knobs to OFF” and open gas supply, LP cylinder or Natural Gas Valve.
7. Ignite only the burners you intend to use, using the same method for each: Push in control knob fully and rotate
slowly (3 to 4 seconds) about 1/4turn to the left (counter clockwise) until a click is heard. The 3 to 4 second
duration should provide enough gas to light the burner. If the burner does not light, immediately return the control
knob to ‘OFF’, wait several minutes for the gas to disperse, and repeat the process. After burner ignites, repeat
procedure with any other burner needed.
8. Adjust control knob(s) to desired cooking temperature.
NOTE: If for some reason, igniters fail to produce a spark at the electrode tip, burners can be lit with a match.
NOTE: To light gas grill with a match, follow steps 1 through 6 above. Remove cooking grid and flame tamer from burner you
wish to light. Insert lighted fireplace-type match or long-necked butane lighter placing flame near to burner ports. Press in control
knob and rotate left to “HI” setting to release gas. Burner should light immediately. If more than one burner is needed, repeat
procedure with each burner. Replace flame tamer and cooking grid. Turn off burners not needed, and adjust other burners to
desired cooking temperature.
OPERATING PROCEDURE
Burn-off: Before cooking on your gas grill for the first time, burn the grill to get rid it of any odors or foreign matter by igniting the
burners, closing the lid, and operating at “HI” setting for about five minutes. You may then either set the controls to “OFF” or cook
on your grill immediately by turning the control knobs to a lower setting.
CAUTION: DO NOT LEAVE GRILL UNATTENDED.
Preheating: It is necessary to preheat the grill for a short time before cooking certain foods, depending on the type of food and
the cooking temperature. Food that requires a high cooking temperature needs preheat for five minutes; food that requires a
lower cooking temperature needs only a period of two to three minutes. There is no need to preheat for casseroles or other foods
that require slow cooking.
COOKING TEMPERATURES
HIGH Setting - Use this setting only for fast warm-up, for searing steaks and chops, and for burning food residue from the cooking
grids after the cookout is over.
MEDIUM SETTING - Use this setting for most grilling, roasting or baking, and for cooking hamburgers and vegetables.
LOW SETTING - Use this setting for all smoke cooking, rotisserie cooking, and when cooking very lean cuts such as fish.
These temperatures vary with the outside temperature and the amount of wind.
